  • this is true "sonzeira", straight admiration from Brazil =]

  • I just played that Burrell/Coltrane record today...

  • Fantastic jazz

    

  • メジャー・ホリーに、ビル・イングリシュ、レイ・バレッ­ト、ともかくこのリズム隊に惚れました、ケニー・バレルのア­ーバンブルース浸け"ミッドナイト・ブルー"冒頭の痛快­曲 #jazzm

  • I play death metal more than jazz, but I gotta say: this is a legit piece of art

  • 1:50

  • this swings like a man in desperation, on a scaffold. relentless boogie. I'm trying to

    get my friends into the joys of jazz . but they're a slave to rock 'n' roll.

  • good!

  • Groove Mater....

  • I have this on vinyl. I've always liked his playing, on his and other recordings. I just got finished listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn do this tune, and he did an excellent job on it. Does anyone here know that Burrell played those guitar parts on James Brown's hit "Try Me"??

  • The first guitar break after the second time through sounds like it influenced the Mick Tayor era Rolling Stones - check out the jam at the end of "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" on Sticky Fingers...

  • I saw Kenny Burrell in 1987 at a party hosted in part by jazz deejay Felix Grant. Kenny played a beautiful piece for the folks in attendance. I was even fortunate enough to have him ask me for a lift to his hotel afterward. He was a superb musician and a gentleman.

  • Heavenly

  • alltime classic

  • Man you gotta love de jazz blues!

  • Junior Wells made a great cover too , added different edge to it .

  • how does he get that tone!?!?!??!?!?!?! GOD IT'S SO SWEET AND SEXY SOUNDING. oh my god it's amazing.

  • @jonnda  because it's just a blues, as is green onions.

  • Why does this remind me of green onions?

  • un'altro dei miei chitarristi preferiti. forse il preferito in assoluto assieme a Grant Greene, Wes, Barney Kessel e Pablo Bobrowicky. Tutti diversi ma tutti hanno qualcosa in comune: il suono . . . . e altro

  • turpentine on tenor.

  • This man has been very influential to a lot of guitar players from Otis Rush to SRV. I've got this tune as a ringtone for my cellphone for text messages.

  • Comment removed

  • never knew SRV's version of this was a cover. glad i took the time to educate myself

  • @spidrmage funny you say that...SRV turned me on to Kenny because of this tune...now I listen to jazz more than blues. The Coltrane/Burrell album made me a jazz fan forever. Check it out if you havent already

  • Kenny Burrell wrote this song. This is Kenny Burrell's song, While SRV did a great cover, I don't think SRV ended up owning the song like Hendrix ended up owning "All along the Watchtower"

  • @sharkbait8088 they have a picture of kenny on thewe wall in mannys music store but its closeing watch the video

  • ...

  • Kenny Could not lay down Blues like sRV and SRV could not play jazz like Kenny. So shut up. Each great but different in approach from each other. Personally. SRV was one of many, great blues man, however this like Wes, makes my mouth curl up at the corners know what I mean?

  • @vhfgtiuoiu Absolutely. Listen to Grant Green and Barney Kessel  also. SRV was great but, I agree, a different genre.

  • @biggerturtle And Django and Wes for pure jazz, Greeny and of course Buddy and B.B. for blues

  • I love this, however is Kenny Burell not "easy listening jazz" for newbies it is an interesting and diverse choice. Little do they know they are the beginning of a rich journey.

  • . . .this LP introduced me to congas and master Ray Barretto. Thanx for the lessons !

    Say goodnight, Gracie !

  • Nice stuff.

  • I first heard this tune on a jazz documentary about Blue Note Records. I never knew who made it/didn't even know its name. 5 years I looked for this tune. I now own several Grant Green cd's because of this:-( One day I stumbled upon this and it was the first track...

  • HAHAHA tatgel -hilarious!!!!!

  • I have a special request. Could you please post the song/video In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning off of the Gerry Mulligan Night Lights album? I would very much love to hear that particular song! Very much enjoyed this wonderful cool, jazzy video! Thank you my friend! :)

  • comparing SVR and this is just comparing genres. The only thing the two have in common are the chords and melody. Both are great.

  • There is no finer guitar player than Kenny Burrell. Period.

  • Except Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, Wes Montgomery, Les Paul ... c'mon, each is/was best in class -- there IS no 'best guitar player' unless you've chosen to limit your enjoyment of primo, excellent players by insisting on having a very narrow point of view ... yes, Kenny is ONE of my favorites (first guitar lesson from him, personally) -- wait, no 'finer' ... I guess you're correct, but equals ... there are several ...

  • @AlacranScorpion Definitely. It's their original songs , however, that puts them in a class of their own.

  • Awesome song, Kenny is awesome. SRV did a good cover and played all the sax parts but Stevie changed the tone of the song to a more blues based...I love both but the jazz version gets the one up from me because Kenny is the man. I even perfer him over Wes...who I also like. Those tones are like butta

  • Love this too.For a cool blues version either of the two versions by Junior Wells on Hoodoo Man extended cd

  • @fishdirt yeah but the SRV track doesn't have the amazing bass line

  • @adtrrocks1231 That's why it's a blues based tone. Bass and low end warm tones are associated with Jazz. SRV didn't do much jazz.

  • @fishdirt yeah i know what your saying

  • This actually is a peace for my music examen on guitar with an improvised solo :D.

  • LOL LETS COMPARE JAZZ AND BLUES BASED ON NOTHING MORE THEN OPINION!!!

    I like both versions, but I have to say I prefer hearing this one. Not because it is "better," but simply because I enjoy the jazzy feeling to it. So smoothe...Anyways, moral of the story is that there is absolutely no point in arguing matters of opinion.

    Woo go Kenny Burrell

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!

  • My god stevie is dead and everybody is trying to steal his music just like jimi; ( just kidding :-)))) I like SRV version because of his playing but this one is the original and sound more smooth and jazzy, and Kenny Burell is one of the greats jazz guit players and composer, big respect to him.

  • hahaha LOL too funny!!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, I know you're right really. Someone had just been extolling the virtues of this 'great SRV original" so I got a bit carried away. But in hindsight I can see it is a bit of a stupid comment.

  • Only a thousand views!

    WTH!

  • It's nice to see this, it's infinitely better than the SRV version.

  • agreed, it's nice to hear the original, but to say it's "better" than the SRV interpretation is well, silly imho. different artists, different visions, apples, oranges. cheers.

  • Yeah, I know you're right really. Someone had just been extolling the virtues of this 'great SRV original" so I got a bit carried away. But in hindsight I can see it is a bit of a stupid comment.

    (sorry for the double post)

  • stevie ray vaughan's head to this song has that cheesy 80s smooth jazz sound to it, but his soloing is way better, if only you could just splice them together.

  • True. i enjoy both versions. Burrel's version sounds "darker" but yet more melodic, and Vaughan's version is a little more blues-oriented.

  • oh really? what are you trying to say?? are you saying srv works the blues scale into his version and KB doesnt? you dont know what you're talking about is all you're doing. sounds "darker" you know nothing about tonality or the western diatonic scale.

  • SRV's version is way better, way, way better.
